How easy is it to differentiate?

As always, the activities are designed for kindergarten and first graders so that you can easily stretch your strongest learners and break concepts down for kids who are struggling.

For instance, give students rhyming practice by having them sort acorns by ending sound…

Or STRETCH the activity by having students sound out those CVC words on a record sheet!

For students who need to work on single digit numbers, pull out the 1-12 number sort…

Or, if bigger numbers are more their mode, pull out the base ten puzzles.

Want to make sight word games with YOUR unique list?

Type the words you want students to practice into any of the three EDITABLE games including these super fun color by sight word sheets.

Because the games are editable, you can practice any words under the sun: Dolch words, Fry lists, classmates’ names, themed fall words, alphabet letters… the possibilities are endless!

Take back your weekends!

One of the things I love most about The Plato Pack is that it always gives you a HUGE variety of activities so you can save time hunting down ideas.

Since this month is all about the fall, even the STEM challenges have a fall theme!

Work on engineering, design and problem skills by building pumpkin elevators…

Use toothpicks and candy pumpkins to make a pumpkin stand.

Then pull out your craft sticks to build catapults that really launch!

Grab your pack!

With the right tools, you can differentiate, motivate and teach like a ninja – stretching activities for kids who are ready for a challenge and breaking down concepts for students who need extra practice.

The best part is…

This is just the beginning.

When you subscribe to The Plato Pack, a themed bundle will arrive in your email inbox on the 25th of each month.
